Like those one thousand parking places for the handicapped in front of every store - and only one of them has a vehicle parked.

---

And out of that vehicle comes someone with no wheelchair, cane, walker, crutches, oxygen, or other evidence of disability, who then spends an hour ably walking around the store.

Those spots have just become perks for growing old, having no principles, and being a whiner with a wimpy doctor. I'd pay my share for government docs to set and enforce standards for such disability benefits.

Oh, and even if they are allowed to park closer their destination, why should they not have to pay the parking meter or obey time limits like the rest of us?

"Those spots have just become perks for growing old, having no principles, and being a whiner with a wimpy doctor."

And they STILL can't fill the spaces. Dead on, though. My friend's dad was given a handicapped sticker when he went to get his license plate once, just because he was a a senior citizen.

So how were you inconvenienced?

I don't care about parking further out. What gets me is when the ONLY open spaces are the handicapped ones. And guess what...9 of the 11 handicapped spots are open. I've nothing against the concept at all, but I think regulations and what have you mandate about 4 times as many handicapped spots as a business is EVER going to see used.
